It can be as well used for transfers over +rsh, and there may be other uses. + +Client sends requests of following form: + +#FISH_COMMAND +equivalent shell commands, +which may be multiline + +Only fish commands are defined here, shell equivalents are for your +information only and will probably vary from implementation to +implementation. Fish commands always have priority: server is +expected to execute fish command if it understands it. If it does not, +however, it can try the luck and execute shell command. + +Since version 4.7.3, the scripts that FISH sends to host machines after +a command is transmitted are no longer hardwired in the Midnight +Commander source code. + +First, mc looks for system-wide set of scripts, then it checks whether +current user has host-specific overrides in his per-user mc +configuration directory. User-defined overrides take priority over +sytem-wide scripts if they exist. The order in which the directories are +traversed is as follows: + + /usr/libexec/mc/fish + ~/.local/share/mc/fish/<hostname>/ + +Server's reply is multiline, but always ends with + +### 000<optional text> + +line. ### is prefix to mark this line, 000 is return code. Return +codes are superset to those used in ftp. + +There are few new exit codes defined: + +000 don't know; if there were no previous lines, this marks COMPLETE +success, if they were, it marks failure. + +001 don't know; if there were no previous lines, this marks +PRELIMinary success, if they were, it marks failure + + Connecting + ~~~~~~~~~~ +Client uses "echo FISH:;/bin/sh" as command executed on remote +machine. This should make it possible for server to distinguish FISH +connections from normal rsh/ssh. + + Commands + ~~~~~~~~ +#FISH +echo; start_fish_server; echo '### 200' + +This command is sent at the beginning. It marks that client wishes to +talk via FISH protocol. #VER command must follow. If server +understands FISH protocol, it has option to put FISH server somewhere +on system path and name it start_fish_server. + +#VER 0.0.2 <feature1> <feature2> <...> +echo '### 000' + +This command is the second one. It sends client version and extensions +to the server. Server should reply with protocol version to be used, +and list of extensions accepted. + +VER 0.0.0 <feature2> +### 200 + +#PWD +pwd; echo '### 200' + +Server should reply with current directory (in form /abc/def/ghi) +followed by line indicating success. + +#LIST /directory +ls -lLa $1 | grep '^[^cbt]' | ( while read p x u g s m d y n; do echo "P$p $u.$g +S$s +d$m $d $y +:$n +"; done ) +ls -lLa $1 | grep '^[cb]' | ( while read p x u g a i m d y n; do echo "P$p $u.$g +E$a$i +dD$m $d $y +:$n +"; done ) +echo '### 200' + +This allows client to list directory or get status information about +single file. Output is in following form (any line except :<filename> +may be omitted): + +P<unix permissions> <owner>.<group> +S<size> +d<3-letters month name> <day> <year or HH:MM> +D<year> <month> <day> <hour> <minute> <second>[.1234] +E<major-of-device>,<minor> +:<filename> +L<filename symlink points to> +<blank line to separate items> + +Unix permissions are of form X--------- where X is type of +file. Currently, '-' means regular file, 'd' means directory, 'c', 'b' +means character and block device, 'l' means symbolic link, 'p' means +FIFO and 's' means socket. + +'d' has three fields: month (one of strings Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun +Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec), day of month, and third is either single +number indicating year, or HH:MM field (assume current year in such +case). As you've probably noticed, this is pretty broken; it is for +compatibility with ls listing. + +#RETR /some/name +ls -l /some/name | ( read a b c d x e; echo $x ); echo '### 100'; cat /some/name; echo '### 200' + +Server sends line with filesize on it, followed by line with ### 100 +indicating partial success, then it sends binary data (exactly +filesize bytes) and follows them with (with no preceding newline) ### +200. + +Note that there's no way to abort running RETR command - except +closing the connection. + +#STOR <size> /file/name +> /file/name; echo '### 001'; ( dd bs=4096 count=<size/4096>; dd bs=<size%4096> count=1 ) 2>/dev/null | ( cat > %s; cat > /dev/null ); echo '### 200' + +This command is for storing /file/name, which is exactly size bytes +big. You probably think I went crazy. Well, I did not: that strange +cat > /dev/null has purpose to discard any extra data which was not +written to disk (due to for example out of space condition). + +[Why? Imagine uploading file with "rm -rf /" line in it.] + +#CWD /somewhere +cd /somewhere; echo '### 000' + +It is specified here, but I'm not sure how wise idea is to use this +one: it breaks stateless-ness of the protocol. + +Following commands should be rather self-explanatory: + +#CHMOD 1234 file +chmod 1234 file; echo '### 000' + +#DELE /some/path +rm -f /some/path; echo '### 000' + +#MKD /some/path +mkdir /some/path; echo '### 000' + +#RMD /some/path +rmdir /some/path; echo '### 000' + +#RENAME /path/a /path/b +mv /path/a /path/b; echo '### 000' + +#LINK /path/a /path/b +ln /path/a /path/b; echo '### 000' + +#SYMLINK /path/a /path/b +ln -s /path/a /path/b; echo '### 000' + +#CHOWN user /file/name +chown user /file/name; echo '### 000' + +#CHGRP group /file/name +chgrp group /file/name; echo '### 000' + +#INFO +...collect info about host into $result ... +echo $result +echo '### 200' + +#READ <offset> <size> /path/and/filename +cat /path/and/filename | ( dd bs=4096 count=<offset/4096> > /dev/null; +dd bs=<offset%4096> count=1 > /dev/null; +dd bs=4096 count=<offset/4096>; +dd bs=<offset%4096> count=1; ) + +Returns ### 200 on successful exit, ### 291 on successful exit when +reading ended at eof, ### 292 on successfull exit when reading did not +end at eof. + +#WRITE <offset> <size> /path/and/filename + +Hmm, shall we define these ones if we know our client is not going to +use them? + +you can use follow parameters: +FISH_FILESIZE +FISH_FILENAME +FISH_FILEMODE +FISH_FILEOWNER +FISH_FILEGROUPE +FISH_FILEFROM +FISH_FILETO + +NB: +'FISH_FILESIZE' used if we operate with single file name in 'unlink', 'rmdir', 'chmod', etc... +'FISH_FILEFROM','FISH_FILETO' used if we operate with two files in 'ln', 'hardlink', 'mv' etc... +'FISH_FILEOWNER', 'FISH_FILEGROUPE' is a new user/group in chown + +also flags: +FISH_HAVE_HEAD +FISH_HAVE_SED +FISH_HAVE_AWK +FISH_HAVE_PERL +FISH_HAVE_LSQ +FISH_HAVE_DATE_MDYT + +That's all, folks! + pavel@ucw.cz |
